When I was a student, Purdue's Cooperative Education program operated a little bit differently from most universities. Purdue liked to distinguish between Cooperative Education and Summer Internships. Most students could fit in 3 summer internships during a 4-year degree program. Therefore, at the time I attended, Purdue's Cooperative Education Certificate required 4 or 5 semesters at the sponsoring company. They preferred to have 5 semesters, beginning with the first summer after a student's Freshman year.
My first-semester grades were good enough, I was invited to work with my school towards finding a cooperative education position, a co-op.
